England forward Freya Godfrey has inked a three-year contract with London City Lionesses, cementing her place after a breakout 2025‑26 WSL campaign. The 21‑year‑old arrived on loan from Arsenal in January 2025, earned a permanent transfer last summer, and now commits to the club. The deal signals the club’s intent to build around homegrown talent and keep a forward already loved by fans.

During the Lionesses’ debut top‑flight season Godfrey tallied six goals and four assists, earning Players’ Player of the Season honours and several England senior call‑ups. Her contributions helped London City finish sixth, a respectable debut after winning the WSL 2 title and promotion the previous year. Her work rate and versatility also gave the manager tactical flexibility in both wing and central roles.

Coach Emma Hayes praised Godfrey’s rapid development, noting the forward’s exposure to world‑class teammates who have claimed World Cups and Champions League medals. With a secure deal in place, Godfrey will anchor the attack as London City aim to improve on their sixth‑place finish and challenge for European spots next season. The forward’s contract includes performance bonuses tied to goal totals and league placement.
